driving back from Syracuse to Providence yesterday we hit pretty much every extreme of weather, it was snowing in \'Cuse when we woke up and left, and on I-90 it was: terrential downpours, light rain, heavy rain, wind gusts to 40+mph that almost blew the car off the road, sunny and dry, cloudy, and one small stretch where we had the windows all open cos it was warm out; not in any specific order.
-
Bundle up w/ some hot chocolate and watch the snow huh? Niiiiiiice.
-
Yep we\'re supposed to get some snow. I hope we get NAILED!
-
supposed to dip back below freezing tonight here in NC so I\'m feelin for y\'all up there! it\'s spring dangit!
-
scaremont lol it\'s good to have someone else from NH on here
-
hmm how did i get 7 or 8? i guess that was an exageration. definately more like 4 or 5 (november, december, january, febuary, march)
definately nothin going on in manch-vegas, stay away from newpeurtorico and scaremont also.
-
yeah Gfunk you are right this was a crummy winter... every time we got good snow we had rain a few days later which washed it all away. Nothing worse than bitter cold with no snow to play with!
There is no reason to go to Manch-Vegas. Ever. lol
I don\'t really care about the lack of night life here, but that\'s probably because I\'m not that far from Boston. You live in a rough spot for night life. However, I think it\'s well worth it. New Hampshire is **** gorgeous... I just really love it here...
7 or 8 months out of the year freezing cold? How\'d you count that many? I can count 3 in Southern NH, 4 ior maybe 5 if you move up north a bit.... Heh I guess I\'m biased though because I like the cold... I find it invigorating...

word, i\'m movin. except i\'m not.

Wow all those things can be done pretty much year round out here even in snow season. Mtns. are not too far away but far enough to have that peace, quiet and STARS!!
Peace from the BEST Coast :D

NH is anything but boring. All you have to do is walk out the back door...
it just sucks that 7 or 8 months out of the year are freezing cold. usually i would be out snowboarding for 4 or 5 of those months, but we really got the shaft with snow this year. there was like 2 decent storms. the rest of the time was just frigid. remember those weeks when we would be lucky if the thermomitor hit 20? maybe i\'m a **** for not wanting to enjoy our states natural beauty when it\'s -15 out. if i\'m not going to do something outside then that leaves me... not a whole lot of options. ooh, i could drive an hour to go to the mall in manch-vegas, YAY. and as for the night life, horrible. 9 out of 10 times i have to leave the state if i want to go to a show.

Fred I\'m going to kick your ass next time I\'m in the Staven area.

Also: "but more importantly"? What could be more important that the natural beauty of the state? Its night life? No way! Well, maybe my priorities are confused, but...
-
I think it depends a lot upon where in the states you go, and want you want to do there as far as work and living style go. I like the govt. of NH better as well, and of course it\'s more affordable. And state sponsored liquor stores! However, fall in certain parts of Vermont really is hard to beat.
I think parts of NH are really beautiful, especially the white mountains, but it does totally depend on where in NH you are. but more importantly, NH is kinda a boring state. there is a whole lotta not much. and it\'s god damn cold. dont get me wrong though, i\'m not trying to talk you out of it. we need more breakfast heads out here. as far as fall in vermont goes, well i\'d have to say i think it\'s a lot like fall in NH.
-
You\'re a lucky man! I really wish I could have seen more of that Southern Tour.... Sorry about your recording troubles, ugh, it\'s always something...
-
I can sympathize Jocelyn! I had a hell of a time trying to find that place too. I couldn\'t reach any of the guys in PGroove on their cell phones because they were sound checking when I arrived so I called information and they said there was no listing for a "Headliners" in Columbia. So I asked this guy walking out of one of the law offices there at 700 Gervais and he hadn\'t heard of it. Little did I know I was in the parking lot the whole time! Then accidentally started recording line-in instead of optical-in so I missed the first few seconds of IG too. As the only place to set up mics was way up in the nosebleeds where the sound was bad though it wasn\'t the end of the world, and Chris and Matt from Atlanta both got rolling on time. Much better sounding room tonight in Charlotte so the tapes sound a lot better. :) Looking forward to the tour coming to me next Sat @ Ziggy\'s!

I think it\'s probably 6 for one, half a dozen for the other.

we like the manchester area b/c it has basically everything you need (plus a really good breakfast place --- called \'up for breakfast\'). but manchester is also totally touristy, which we want to avoid. but we really haven\'t done too much serious research yet. basically we just love the fresh air up there -- it really clears your head and helps you to think straight. plus, we\'re kinda ski/snowboard bums, and vt is a good place to be for that.
new hampshire is also a very possible option for us. vermont taxes are so ridiculous and we prefer the laizze-faire gov\'t of new hampshire. can you say that you\'ve had an over-all better experience in either one of these two states, joc?
-
Aw, thanks Diana! It\'s funny, when moving becomes habit, then it\'s staying in one place that seems harder, and perhaps that\'s where I\'m lacking courage. (?) I just don\'t like feeling stagnant I guess.... Where are you thinking of going in Vermont? That\'s a big change from NYC! I\'m sure you will love it though; I lived there for a while and I really miss it. Maybe I should go back there instead! he he he
-
joc, i admire your ability to get up and move to new places. i\'ve lived in ny my whole life but am thinking about a change. my boyfriend and i are thinking about moving to vermont when i\'m done w/ school in may. it takes a lot to leave everything behind and start fresh somewhere completely new. good for you. i hope i have the courage to do the same.

such cute horsies they are too!!!!!

Yeah this will be the fourth or fifth place depending upon when exactly I met you. Guess I\'m not good at staying put.
"and i bet she\'ll still be trucking it up for the ct shows!"
You know it!

Well I missed IG through WTF because how the hell was I supposed to know the place was INSIDE Banana Joe\'s? Come on! There was no sign. Anyhow big place, not close to full, maybe because it was Beach Night at the bar next door. ugh. Highlights for me were the jam ending Doughboy (I think that\'s where it was, can\'t remember really, had too much to drink. Also a serious Escher\'s, which I really wanted to hear. A handful of people were really loving the band, many others seemed indifferent until Pgroove got on. Pgroove is a jamband. \'nuff said. Didn\'t sound like anything to me. But apparently they have a big draw down here so playing with them was probably a smart move for the guys.
